Chapter Three: Turning Point
She found them in the libray, oddly enough. But the reason was well known.
To find out what had happened to Malfoy.
Sure, they really hated the guy, Sure she was a slimy git of a ferret, however, he was still a person, and someone close to them, even if it was in an evil enemy type of way. They still worried.
After what would happen to the world if Draco Malfoy made such a flip about and vanished?
It boggled the mind.
Hermione took a seat, and grabbed the attention of her two best friends.
"I know why he changed." She said simply, making both boys shut their books and look at her, almost demanding more information. She took a deep breath. "He wants to see the face of a feminine being that lives in the forest, and the only way to see her, is to apparently go nuts and give up all you have ever cared about. The only reason he is still here is the fact that Dumbledore asked him for a month."
She said it all really quickly, yet from all the years of hearing her babble about useful homework in a similar way, they understood.
Ron looked at her blankly, "is that all?"
Harry shook his head. "Of all the idiotic reasons to through away a perfectly good life."
"I think its more than that." She whispered talking mainly to herself.
"Why do you think that Mione?"
"Well, for one he said so, and for two, I don't think that a Slytherin would gladly give their life up for something, without it meaning a lot to them."
Harry made a hacking noise that sounded rather like 'Voldemort'
Hermione rolled her eyes, and Ron flinched slightly at the name.
"Well joining Voldie is a lot more understandable then killing you life just to someone's face." Hermione chided.
Harry and Ron looked at her in a scared like way. "Mione, you don't think Joining Voldie is that BAD?!"
"NO!" she quickly recovered, "I'm just saying that what Malfoy is doing is far worse then joining him."
"I guess your right."
"I'm going up to my room with a few of these books so that I can cross reference them." Hermione stood grabbing the nearest book and stuffing them into her bag. "I'll see both of you at dinner!"
And she walked off.
"Wasn't that a bit odd?" Ron asked.
"Nah, come on, we still have more books."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione felt REALLY bad.
She knew who Draco had met in the forest that night.
He had met her.
She slumped on her bed, pulled the curtain closed and but a silencing charm on it.
It had happened during fourth year, while Harry was busy training for the Tournament, she had wondered into the forbidden forest while looking for potions ingredients.
There she had met a tall dark lady; she was lost, so naturally, she asked for directions.
*~*~*Flash Back*~*~*~*~*~
"Excuse me miss? I'm lost, how do you get back to the castle?"
"The one by the lake?" her voice seemed to flow in an unnatural way.
"Yes, do you know the way?"
"I do, but I don't let things leave me so easily, I do get lonely."
"What do you want of me?"
"I've never had a daughter, would you be mine?"
"I already have a mother. . ."
"Yes, but you can have two, one for each side."
"Each side?"
She was hit by a wave of darkness. When she woke she was still in the forest.
"Now there are two of you, in the darkness I will keep
you while your soul is fast asleep!" she laughed, and smiled. "Come here child, Come here, my Morgan."
Hermione felt the change in the way she moved, like air across the tree tops.
"Yes, Mother."
Her hair was darken black, and her eyes endless pools of nothing ness.
"What am I mother?"
"You? Why you child are darkness, like me."
"An elemental?" Hermione asked curious.
"No child, a demon, worse then all the evils in this world combined."
"Worse then Voldemort?"
"Voldemort is an atom to us child."
"Good, I don't like being scared."
"Never more will you my child."
*~*~**~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione knew that she changed at night and that she visited her second mother every full moon, last time her trip was delayed by Draco and she found her mother crying.
Draco made her mother cry.
"It is your choice to make, may your soul I never take, May your life I never break."
Darkness like misery, loves company, it is rare indeed when one willingly chooses to join their ranks.
Hermione never chose, yet, she could correct it, but what she had said was true, She didn't like being afraid.
She had a feeling Draco didn't either.
A week until she saw her mother again. Would she really have the strength not to bring a guest to her meeting, or did he want her to bring him, in his own way?
Hermione didn't know.
But as the night descended upon the castle, she changed and the night took her.

AN:
Ok so now we know a bit about what was in the forest.
Does it make more or less sense?
Either way I posted and cleared up a few foggy areas hope you all enjoyed!
